.TH BIND_TEXTDOMAIN_CODESET 3 "May 2001" "GNU gettext 0.18.1"
|
||
|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
bind_textdomain_codeset \- set encoding of message translations
|
||
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
.nf
|
||
|
.B #include <libintl.h>
|
||
|
.sp
|
||
|
.BI "char * bind_textdomain_codeset (const char * " domainname ,
|
||
|
.BI " const char * " codeset );
|
||
|
.fi
|
||
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
The \fBbind_textdomain_codeset\fP function sets the output codeset for message
|
||
|
catalogs for domain \fIdomainname\fP.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
A message domain is a set of translatable \fImsgid\fP messages. Usually,
|
||
|
every software package has its own message domain.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
By default, the \fBgettext\fP family of functions returns translated messages
|
||
|
in the locale's character encoding, which can be retrieved as
|
||
|
\fBnl_langinfo(CODESET)\fP. The need for calling \fBbind_textdomain_codeset\fP
|
||
|
arises for programs which store strings in a locale independent way (e.g.
|
||
|
UTF-8) and want to avoid an extra character set conversion on the returned
|
||
|
translated messages.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
\fIdomainname\fP must be a non-empty string.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
If \fIcodeset\fP is not NULL, it must be a valid encoding name which can be
|
||
|
used for the \fBiconv_open\fP function. The \fBbind_textdomain_codeset\fP
|
||
|
function sets the output codeset for message catalogs belonging to domain
|
||
|
\fIdomainname\fP to \fIcodeset\fP. The function makes copies of the argument
|
||
|
strings as needed.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
If \fIcodeset\fP is NULL, the function returns the previously set codeset for
|
||
|
domain \fIdomainname\fP. The default is NULL, denoting the locale's character
|
||
|
encoding.
|
||
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
||
|
If successful, the \fBbind_textdomain_codeset\fP function returns the current
|
||
|
codeset for domain \fIdomainname\fP, after possibly changing it. The resulting
|
||
|
string is valid until the next \fBbind_textdomain_codeset\fP call for the same
|
||
|
\fIdomainname\fP and must not be modified or freed. If a memory allocation
|
||
|
failure occurs, it sets \fBerrno\fP to \fBENOMEM\fP and returns NULL. If no
|
||
|
codeset has been set for domain \fIdomainname\fP, it returns NULL.
|
||
|
.SH ERRORS
|
||
|
The following error can occur, among others:
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B ENOMEM
|
||
|
Not enough memory available.
|
||
|
.SH BUGS
|
||
|
The return type ought to be \fBconst char *\fP, but is \fBchar *\fP to avoid
|
||
|
warnings in C code predating ANSI C.
